Elena Carter // Omaha, NE

I hadn’t visited Omaha (Fremont) family in almost 10 years, so when I planned a trip for a wedding, I was pleasantly surprised to see Omaha had a great company. So much so, in fact, that outside of San Antonio, Phoenix, and NYC, Omaha is the city that I’ve photographed the most ballerinas in. The idea of a ballerina in full garb, sticking out of a corn field intrigued me, and thankfully Elena was up to my weird, almost unflattering idea. Quirkiness has become key to how I approach the project now.
